What happened?

[Anachron]

Yesterday evening a spree of errors occured and the side went down and nothing is declared at any forum on this side. So what happened yesterday??

 

[Pyritie]

Huh? Could you elaborate?

 

[The_Silent]

Same happend to me.

 

[Anachron]

Pyritie, I browsed the forums yesterday and I surprisly got an error while going to the news, checked other links, all had errors. Further then that, a few minutes later HWS went down.

As I checked it today everything is alright again.

Yeah, the site sometimes goes down for quick maintenance or over small issues. I experienced it as well, it was up shortly after.

 

[Anachron]

Hmm but then why doesn't ralle post that server went down like everytime? It was AT LEAST for about 15 minutes down. ( I gone to bed after a while trying)

Don't expect that the site's perfect, guys.

Yeah but somehow I want to know those strange things even when I didn't had them but Ralle did not say any word

He thought no one would mind a quick downtime.

... nothing to worry about.
the site is down every now and then.
that causes bugs ... when you browse the site when it's going down i guess.
i had it too. so i watched some relaxing ... videos.

At 11AM GMT each day the site does a backup. Is this what you mean?

Well. When I don't post something, there is no big reason for the site to be down.

Sometimes it's my internet.

But the other day (what this thread is about). It was 100% because of me.

You see when you have more than 5 connections to the server, it starts blocking you from having new connections and you get the error 403 or something.
I had totally forgot this and was testing a new chat system on various computers and thought "OMG hive is down". But it wasn't, it was only because I got the 403 error.
So I restarted the web server program and did all sorts of things. I also restarted the server itself.

Later I just realized I had a brain fart...
